Fancy a peek into the kitchens of fellow seafood enthusiasts? We asked some of Seaco's regulars to share their favourite seafood picks and delicious seafood recipes, and they've certainly delivered! From fresh fish to frozen favourites, and simple suppers to feasts for friends, get ready for some serious seafood inspiration.
Fresh Fish for Fantastic Seafood Recipes
When it comes to fresh fish, Seaco customers know what they're talking about! One regular told us that their go-to has to be the whole Crimson Snapper. Steaming it with ginger and spring onions is a favourite way to prepare it, served with a simple soy sauce and sesame oil dressing. Steaming is a fantastic way to preserve the delicate flavour of fresh fish, and sea bass is a popular choice for its tender white flesh.
Another customer raves about the fresh Norway salmon sashimi. The delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture and clean, fresh flavour make it a perfect choice for a light and refreshing meal. It’s delicious on its own with a bit of soy sauce and wasabi.
Top tip: When buying fresh fish, look for bright eyes, firm flesh, and a fresh sea smell. Our team at Seaco is always happy to help you choose the perfect fish for your needs.
Sensational Seafood Recipes with Shellfish
Shellfish lovers, rejoice! Prawns are a firm favourite amongst our regulars. Keeping a bag of frozen prawns in the freezer is a great idea for whipping up a quick prawn noodle soup or a spicy sambal prawn dish any night of the week.
And who can beat a good chilli crab? Using Seaco's fresh mud crabs ensures a meaty and flavourful sauce. Mud crabs are indeed a treat, especially when cooked in a rich and fragrant sauce, perfect for sharing with family and friends alongside some warm roti.
Top tip: For the best flavour, ensure your shellfish is cooked thoroughly.
Frozen Seafood Finds for Easy Seafood Recipes
Frozen seafood is a lifesaver for busy weeknights. Seaco's regulars rely on our frozen squid as a kitchen staple. Marinating it in garlic, ginger, and soy sauce, then stir-frying it with vegetables makes a quick and healthy meal. Squid is a great source of protein and has a lovely chewy texture.
Our customers love our frozen scallops. Pan-searing them with butter and garlic and serving them with a squeeze of lemon creates a restaurant-quality dish that can easily be made at home. Scallops are indeed a decadent treat, and pan-searing them gives them a beautiful golden crust.
Top tip: Thaw your frozen seafood completely before cooking for best results.
More Delightful Seafood Recipes
Looking for more inspiration? Here are a few more seafood recipes that Seaco's regulars love:
- Fish Head Curry
This rich and flavourful curry is a popular local dish. Fish head (usually red snapper) is simmered in a creamy coconut curry with vegetables like okra and eggplant. Enjoy with rice or bread for a truly indulgent meal.
- Laksa with Prawns and Cockles
A comforting and aromatic noodle soup, laksa is packed with flavour. Prawns and cockles are added to spicy coconut broth with noodles, tofu puffs, and bean sprouts. You can use our Laksa Noodles for cooking with ease.
This iconic dish features mud crabs cooked in a sweet, savoury, and spicy chilli sauce. It's messy to eat, but oh so worth it! Serve with fried mantou (Chinese buns) for dipping into the delicious sauce.
